Purification of sodium chloride

How do we separate Sodium from a mixture of sodium chloride and water soluble impurities?

Sodium? As in Na? In water? HA!

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

ie. Sodium doesn't exist in water because it will react with it.

No, he mentioned from NaCl, which is a salt and not from the metal Na :)

ha

What other water impurities? You must specify otherwise we will not stroke your rod with much efficiency.

Use an ion exchange resin.

Thanks Monique

Thanks Monique, you clarified my question but still i can't find any answer to my question.

I think you need to clarify your goal a little bit, you want to get rid of the Na+ or you want to isolate Na+.. there is a difference :)
